Interestingly not a mention of Edwards or Rowett, which is strange.
Kavanagh's end of season letter to Millwall fans
- Thread starter robbo555
- Start date
Interestingly not a mention of Edwards or Rowett, which is strange.
I agree but it does show that he understands the fans and is very warm in his praise of the continued support we give to the club. He is also right to point out that the whole pre match experience has been enhanced significantly in recent years making the whole day a richer experience. I personally think that he has moved us forward in many ways and does not deserve the criticism that he faced on here recently. He is on a completely different page from Andy Ambler who you never hear of nowadays.

Yes, he has done what is a difficult job very well. The attendances this season have been remarkable.
I forgot about Ambler. I wonder what he's up to?

Yep. Edwards was a quite terrible appointment but credit where it's due, they recognised that and made the change at the right time.

Ambler went off to a cushy number at the FA
From the FA website and his remit is obviously not successful.
Andy Ambler
Director of Professional Game Relations
Andy joined in the autumn of 2016, following a nine-year spell as chief executive at Millwall Football Club.
He took up a newly-created strategic role to strengthen relationships with the professional game in line with its four-year strategic vision to provide trusted regulation and efficient administration.
A key focus for Andy is to develop positive engagement and collaborative working across the Premier League, English Football League and their clubs, as well as those organisations representing players, managers and supporters.
Andy previously spent time at Fulham, and also served on the Football League board.

What the fuck does Director Of Professional Game Relations mean? Why do so many job titles these days make zero sense?

This sounds interesting from the letter:
"I appreciate it’s been a bit quiet on certain other matters of late, not least the redevelopment of land around The Den. While we’ve not been able to say anything publicly for some time, behind the scenes we have been continuing to work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for the club. We are very pleased with the progress made and I’m comfortable in saying that we hope and expect some incredibly positive news in this regard very soon. There will of course be a separate statement released on this as soon as we can."

Probably still dishing out banning orders somewhere!
What a great statement.
He gets dogs abuse from some but I personally think he is doing a brilliant job, one not many would be keen to take on or defend our club with such vigour.
The regen sounds hopeful too, and let’s be honest if that falls through we do have big problems as James and family will not want to continue this amount of investment with no hope of a return

It’s the usual wankspeak robbo. Designed to mean sod all so that the special people can make it up as they go along mate.

That’s a great letter. The last few paragraphs about JB and the Berylson family were very touching.

I really don’t understand Kavanagh’s critics

I agree and i don't get the abuse. I certainly don't think it's warranted.
